First Thousand Words in French

Excellent for a child not for adult leaning French as second language. There is a link to the publisher's web site for mp3 files for exact pronounciation. Very good.

I often buy this book for children 6 years old and under. It was great twenty years ago even without stickers. A classic learning experience in the tradition of "Where's Waldo?"

I checked this book out from the library to use with my children. For vocabulary, it seems to be the best thing currently out there, and I appreciated the internet link, so I could hear words I wasn't sure how to pronounce. I have since returned the book, and do not desire to buy it. Many of the people illustrated in this book are portrayed as being annoyed, malicious, angry, etc. This includes the family grouping, where the brother and sister are glaring a each other, and the mother is glaring down at them. If this book was redone with a more positive portrayal of human interactions, I would be delighted to introduce my preschoolers to it.

This sticker book is comprehensive and fun for all ages (my daughter age 12 - enjoyed it). The book includes a full glossary/dictionary of all the words in the book with a pronunciation guide. All the words include feminine or masculine articles. The stickers help reinforce the learning.

This book is incredibly helpful from children ages 6 all the way up to adults. You can be in French 1 in high school or AP French in college. No matter which way you go, this book helps you review for all the common French words that no tourist should be without. What's that word for watermelon? How about bathroom? Oh, dang, I forgot how to say tooth! Well, just review the pages of this book and its cute little pictures, and you'll remember in no time. It's also great if you're trying to teach young children their 2nd language, which I recommend, because children learn easier. This book will be fun for them, and for you to brush up on your French!
